Single-channel speech enhancement primarily relies on deep learning models to recover clean speech signals from noise-contaminated speech. These models establish a mapping relationship between noisy and clean speech. However, considering the sparse d...
BACKGROUND: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a severe condition affecting millions worldwide, leading to numerous annual deaths. The absence of significant symptoms in its early stages promotes high underdiagnosis rates for the affecte...
The Web has become an essential resource but is not yet accessible to everyone. Assistive technologies and innovative, intelligent frameworks, for example, those using conversational AI, help overcome some exclusions. However, some users still experi...
Parkinson's Disease (PD) is a prevalent neurological condition characterized by motor and cognitive impairments, typically manifesting around the age of 50 and presenting symptoms such as gait difficulties and speech impairments. Although a cure rema...
OBJECTIVE: This study investigated whether artificial intelligence (AI) models combining voice signals, demographics, and structured medical records can detect glottic neoplasm from benign voice disorders.
